Most people love the outcomes of rhinoplasties.
Yes, if you are with an experienced surgeon. This is HUGE in consideration of the result. Ask them directly about their experience and ask to see pictures. There are two specialties that do rhinoplasties. ENT and PLASTIC surgeons. Make sure they have experience and the pictures show good results. Also, this operation is being done by them regularly.
Is rhinoplasty worth the risk? It all depends on how much you are unhappy with your nose. I think results can be dramatic. If you are concerned with regard to the outcome, go to a surgeon who can image you to better assist you in appreciating the goals of the surgery.
While all surgery has some inherent risk, rhinoplasty surgery has a relatively low complication rate, especially when performed by an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon. More than the true surgical complications there are also risks of the surgical result not turning out or healing exactly how the patient and or the surgeon was desiring. It is notable though, that those undesirable results are almost always repairable. In the end, only you can weigh these risks against how unhappy you are with your nose as it is now.
Yes.
